Okay, this was kinda weird. I called a particular pizza chain last night; not one of our usuals purveyors but one that we called a couple weeks ago.
I had a coupon and that had the list of all the stores in the area. I couldn't find my copy of which store to call so I took a guess and called, 1st checking that they deliver in my area (in case I called the wrong one).
Me: "hi, I'd like to order a pizza for delivery. Do you deliver to Such-and-such neighborhood (street about 2 miles long with several streets off of it with houses, apartments & townhouses)?"
Pizza Person #1: "We deliver to part of it. Do you live beyond This Street?"
Me: "Which one? That street is a 'j' & we live off one end of it. I live on That Place, if that helps."
PP#1: "Let me check."
I'm on hold.
PP#1: "Sorry, we don't deliver there."
Me: "Oh, okay, thanks.
I check the list of numbers & go with my 2nd choice.
Me: "hi, I'd like to order a pizza for delivery. Do you deliver to Such-and-such neighborhood?"
PP#2: "Oh, sorry we don't. Try the ThisOtherLocation store. I think that they do."
Me: "Thanks. Bye."
D'oh, I should have asked for the number. This list of phone numbers doesn't give me enough location details. Oh well, I'll call back.
Me: "Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me what the number, or at least the prefix of that store."
PP#3: "Sure, the number is yadda-yadda."
Me: "Um, that's the 1st store that I called. So neither you nor this other store deliver to my area, is that right?"
PP#3: "yes, that's what it sounds like. I'm sorry." (tone of her voice expecting me to explode in her ear)
Me: "ooookay, then, well, it's not your fault. Have a nice night."
Me: "Hon, we're ordering from somebody else tonight. This company doesn't deliver to us!"
Seriously There's a population dense area, decent neighborhood & your stores don't cover the entire thing?
